Lyrics
Strip malls and bus stations
Laundromats and bars
Easier to fake it
Than to tell ‘em who you are
Every conversation
Felt so good and wrong
I’ll be coming back, but
I won’t be staying long
We’ve been caught in a storm
of our own making
Guided by the way things used to be
Lotta work for losin’
But that’s all right with me
Every moment is a memory
A powerful omission
Truth that tells a lie
Going magnet fishin’
Beneath blue earthquake lights
Ribbons and umbrellas
Ghosts and butterflies
Spooked a horse in Memphis
You could see it in his eyes
We are lost in a dream of our own making
Guided by the way things used to be
Lotta work for losin’
But that’s all right with me
Every moment is a memory
Every moment is a memory
Every moment is a memory
